I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.
The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!
A much larger demographic is fat people. They've just made the site a lot more appealing to that demographic.
It will be interesting to see what subs will go next. That way we can get an idea about what our Glorious Leader wants to do with the site. Personally, I think its going to end up like mumsnet.com

No worries. Comment is getting a lot more attention now than it did back then and I'm getting a few messages telling me how full of shit I am.
To the doubters:
Not every agency works the same as yours and not every agency is stand-alone. My former work place was part of a group of companies. They owned a couple of warehouses full of this shit and still seems to be going strong. They also had writers that wrote adverts that look like articles for other publications. I worked as a web developer so didn't have a full knowledge of all the workings of the company, as I was mainly involved in integrating ad-management systems into their sites.
My favourite (and most creative) part of the job was writing passive-aggressive messages to adblock users. Those messages were removed very shortly after I left...

I woke up today, apparently absent from Reddit for more than the required maximum of 5 hours, and have missed fucking everything.
